  • Wiki.js

    Wiki.js | A modern and powerful wiki app built on Node.js

  • I've used jswiki (https://js.wiki/) for a long time. You can import or export to git. I have the backup of the wiki content on github as a private repo.

  • doc-store-template

    This is a template repo to make a document store in git

  • if you just want github to render your wiki, I have a repo that you could try - https://github.com/mhzawadi/doc-store-template

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • wiki

    The official Wiki of the selfhosted.show Podcast. (by selfhostedshow)

  • I had the same requirements as you, and MkDocs has worked wonderfully well for me. You can use this repository as an example: https://github.com/selfhostedshow/wiki/

  • Gitea

    Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

  • Grav

    Modern, Crazy Fast, Ridiculously Easy and Amazingly Powerful Flat-File CMS powered by PHP, Markdown, Twig, and Symfony

  • Just thought I'd mention Grav: https://getgrav.org/. I looked for a git based markdown wiki for a long time, and ultimately settled on Grav. It's more of a CMS than a wiki, but it seems to have done the trick anyway.

  • I can add another example because I use this method to push mkdocs for my personal website and it's all on gitlab here.

  • mdBook

    Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

  • I'm using https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook for my personal wiki.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • retype

    Retype is an ✨ ultra-high-performance✨ static site generator that builds a website based on simple text files.

  • Give https://retype.com a try, looks like GitBook but produces a self hosted website that can be then hosted anywhere, e.g. using GitHub pages. There’s also a GitHub action for CI/CD solutions.

  • pms-wiki

    The aim is to share knowledge and information about building an open-source media server.

  • I'm a huge fan of mkdocs. As noted above I put it into production for the selfhosted show wiki (which needs some love btw so please do contribute!) but also for https://perfectmediaserver.com.
